"this is the next best thing to having Jesus, Moses, Mohamed, Buddha, and Thor all sit down with you around a burning bush and explain the importance of implementing IPv6."
Yep, but that's not like hearing cthulhu's ghetto hoopti pulling up your drive way.
"Secure protocols are hard to design because there are a lot of subtle errors that can be made. It takes a lot of work by a lot of smart people to make sure that none have been -- and it's even harder if the protocol breaks new ground. "
If you see that you have to bust your balls for 4 years in med school, 2 years in internship, another 2 years in residency, more for specialty, on top of all this accruing 6-figure debt, it's only natural that doctors do its best to protect their investment.
The question to ask is how we came to have such a physician-training system, and who's protecting it? AMA. This is the same AMA that conspired with tobacco industries back in the 60's in their attempt to prevent Medicaid and Medicare. When it comes to interest of physicians and patients, it knows which one comes first.

AMA is particularly insidious because they pretend to front for doctors, unlike pharma, insurance, and lawyers, whose interests are plainly obvious to us. Many doctors speak against AMAs, and it shows. AMA's membership has been in decline for a while, but being long-standing organized lobby, their political influence remains, keeping a lid on the supply of doctors among other things.
Doctors (and AMA, the selfish and hypocritical lobby) are just as big a problem as pharma, insurance, and legal industries in the mess that is our medical industrial complex.
I wonder how many keep their college textbooks? I do - not much changed in basic circuits, linear, non-linear, signal processing, etc. - even though I haven't touched hardware stuff since I left college.

You oinky vermins! You oinky, wonderous animal, you, delicious... ZOMG, what have we done?!
East of Siberia, lots of dinosaur fossils, I think.
Careful, son. You know not the power of the evil you're belittling.
"If you don't know what to do after profit, you've got some sort of a problem."
Yep, the problem of figuring out what to do after profit.

No, timothy meant "iManufacture". Spelling error, you see.
"Don't you love it when people who don't understand irony think you actually mean what you say."
IRS needs to impose extra tax for windbags that spews "irony" more than, say, once a year. Irony Tax for douchebags!!!
Damn, I gotta pay now. Let that be a lesson to me.
Live and let live. Black holes are people, too.
"Secure protocols are hard to design because there are a lot of subtle errors that can be made. It takes a lot of work by a lot of smart people to make sure that none have been -- and it's even harder if the protocol breaks new ground. "
That's a good point.
Damn Congress, we told them to cut the pork, and the jerks bring the plague on the House instead.
Mediterranean special - Whole Body Zoning (WBZ)!
Stop preaching to "the third-world countries" like they're buncha idiots, and maybe they might listen to your advice they didn't ask for.
I think this will work. It's used extensively on giant robots in Japanese cartoons.
If it's so unremarkable, what makes it worth half million Australian dollars, then? Unremarkable patent, perhaps?
Might as well burn some karma for a cause.

Don't they know that Yeni is the weaspon of mass destruction?
Mike, a beer on me for this post.

People using twitter, or people blaming twitter. What's the word I'm looking for?
Yep, it's what the plants crave. Or was it burrito. And she kept saying "your daddy couldn't find a hole if... " something or other.
Don't forget the direction markers for electrons. Electrons are people, too.

So you're saying if I had used pencils instead of pens, I would live to 80s?
Doesn't matter. I did EE, too, with no "enhancement", and I don't remember anything. Not a thing.
Still advocating accounting creativity as a "real competitive advantage", are you?
I, for one, seriously, welcome accountants becoming more focused and less creative.
